Semi-automated retractable "Lasagna-style" spy satellites

Thanks to several GREAT tips I´ve got here in forums, I can now proper build and use a lot of pistons and rotors, with (almost!) none intervene from Mr. Clang.

Here are the latest ones.
Please note that there are a few cuts in the videos, to avoid all the time needed between some travels.

In the first video, it´s not about a satellite, but some kind of Advanced Engineering Vessel, which contains a survival kit, small grid refinery and assembler, and two cockpits, besides a lot of batteries and timer blocks.

It´s part of a small coupling-able-ish fleet, trying to imitate stuff we usually do in KSP to create a moving space support station.

*PS: I´ve made a few changes after the video, to make it better those panels´ unfolding.--- Automerge ---
